Get registered in the major directories
in the most appropriate categories. There are two you should
consider above all others:
Yahoo -choice of http://www.Yahoo.com
or by country, such as http://www.Yahoo.co.uk
-difficult to get in unless you have a site of major interest
-don't try for too ambitious a category -it may be easier to
get specialised sites listed in specific area. You may have to
pay to be listed in some commercial sections of Yahoo.
The Open Directory - http://www.dmoz.com
-very important as it is edited on a voluntary basis. A number
of search engines use it as a starting point and rank listed
pages higher (in particular Google). UK sites should be listed
in the regional section of the directory. Beware, they
are likely to penalise people who repeatedly ask for more than
one listing. If you are interested, you could also offer to volunteer
as an editor in your subject area. UK directory at: http://www.dmoz.com/Regional/Europe/United_Kingdom.
